'Tim Thorne is not only an original writer, he is an original thinker' — Gwen Harwood
'More musical than Mallarmé with a twelve-string blues guitar, as far out as the Tasmanian wilderness, closer than country music, Tim Thorne rides the line of poetry from the page through the eye to the brain and the heart' — John Tranter
'Tim Thorne has a rare gift. His poems are always unpredictable. They continually spike the reader with wit and surprise. Tim Thorne has been around for a long time, but, thankfully, never writes like it' — Dorothy Porter
